The Detroit Pistons showed no signs of slowing down, overcoming injuries to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 114–105 and extend their winning streak to nine games, their longest run since February 2008. Detroit improved to 11–2 overall and 2–0 in NBA Cup group play.

As the 76ers exchange blows with the Pistons, Kelly Oubre Jr. has been ruled out with left knee hyperextension.

The Philadelphia 76ers, even with all of their difficulties, have been surprisingly good. Tyrese Maxey is going berserk with rookie VJ Edgecombe playing a two-way role.

The Detroit Pistons have made their final decision on Cade Cunningham's injury status for Friday's game against the 76ers.
